Steps:

• Add the whole eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, vanilla, salt and brown sugar to a blender. Blend the batter on low for 1 minute and then scrape down the sides in case any flour is sticking to the sides. Continue to blend on low for another 2 minutes.
• Put the butter into a 9x13 baking dish (I used glass) and place into the preheated oven while the batter rests for 5 minutes. The butter should start to boil but watch that it doesn't burn.
• When the rest time is done, take the dish out of the oven and swirl the butter to make sure it spreads all over.
• Give the batter a quick stir or pulse then carefully pour the batter into the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven down to 300° and cook for an additional 5 minutes. While cooking, the pancake edges will puff up about 2 inches above the rim and then deflate when it is taken out of the oven.
• As soon as it comes out of the oven, swirl the dish once more to distribute any melted butter left on top evenly over the pancake.
• Serve with strawberries and powdered sugar or syrup.

GERMAN BAKED APPLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Beat together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt until very smooth. Add some very thinly sliced apples if desired. In a heavy 12-inch skillet, melt about 1 1/2 Tablespoons butter. As soon as it is quite hot, pour in the batter and put the skillet in the oven. After 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for another 10 minutes. The pancake should be light brown and crisp.
• During the first 10 to 15 minutes of baking, the pancake may puff up in large bubbles. If it does, pierce it thoroughly with a fork or skewer.
• While the pancake is baking, prepare the apple filling. Peel and thinly slice a pound of apples. Saute them lightly in 1/4 cup butter and add 1/4 cup sugar. Season to taste with cinnamon and nutmeg. The apples should be just tender, not too soft. About 8 to 10 minutes of cooking over a medium flame should be plenty. (The filling can be prepared ahead and re-heated just before serving.).
• When the pancake is ready, slide it onto an oval platter, pour the apple filling over one side, and fold the other side over. A little melted butter can be poured on it you choose, and the whole thing carefully sprinkled with powdered sugar through a sieve. Serve it at once, slicing pieces off crosswise.
